mi Iobedull referred to iu thus Letters Patent und making pu# o! th son.

Aville, in the oonnty of Ficknway, ond Stato oi Ohio,

have invented certain new and usoiul Improvements in Ogni-Bearing orAdvertisingEnvelopes; and I do hemby decline that the' following is afnll, clear, and.

exact description thereof, reference heilig had tothe iwconnmnylngdrawings,:nnd to tho letters of reference marked thereon, which orni apart of this specificit- The nat-nre of my lnlvcntloneonslsts inimprovements on oord-bearing or advertising envelopes, by

printing the card of t e,writer on a seperate piene of paper lmm `thatof wh oh the envelope is made, and having the under side of the piece ofpaper bearing the card, coated with anindhesivo substance, ond one ond.of Lahout n queman-ol n inoh ,in length, aimnst severe from the rest ofthc card by pcriomtlons.

This nearly severed end is to be made i'nst to the envelope, and theother end of the card is to be leiinto a slit in the envelope, and serveto assist in holding the card until the envelope isdelivcred to thecorrcspolrdent. The eon'eslmndent then teurs oil the card at tine perlforations, and i'ustens or mncllnges the sinne bn tho face of theenvelope beating the answer di'. the wrrespondent, and the cardtheuserves to direct the cnvev lope without the possibility of a. mistakebeing made in I the address.

To enable those skilled iu the art to make and usc lmy invention, I willnow proceed to more fully describe its construction and operation.

In the dmwings- A Figure 1 is a. view, showing the envelope with a. slitin it, and the card secured to. the envelope when the writer sends hisletter, and

Figure 2 shows the card when torn from the envelope, shown in iig. 1,and secured to envelope, shown in iig.' 2, by mneiloging it thereto.

Figure 3 represents the piece of paper bearing the card ornamented, and

Figure 4 represents the saine card when torn ii'om the envelope, shownin fig. 3, and inneilaged to the envelope, shown in iig. 4, bearing theanswer oi' the correspondentI ot' the writer' who sent the envelope,shown in iig. 3.

The envelope A has au incision, a, made in its face, as shown in thedrawings, being ofthe same width as the card B.

Ordinarily, I shall make the card B of theplain and neat form shown iniig. 1, or of the ornamental style shown ln fig. 4, in both of which theunder sido ofthe card is entirely covered with lnneiloge, or otheradhesive substance, and the end b is nearly severed from tho hody oi'the card by perforations, or otherwise.

This end b is secured to the envelope, and the other end oi' the card Bis slipped into the incision a, of the envelope A, and the card is, inthis manner, secured to the ,letter until it is delivered.

'lhe recipient oi' theletter slips the loose end ofthe card B ont ofthev incision a, and teurs the card B ironi its end b, and postestheeaxd Bon the envelope, as shown in figs. 2 and 4.

Instead of having an incision made in the envelope, both ends ol'thecard .l may belprenaredlke the end 6 In gJ, su miti' the ends of thecard are. then secured on the face ofthe envelope, and the recipient of'the letter tears the aard from both of its ends that are nearly severedli'omg, instead of tearing it from one.

Among the advailtges my invention possesses over others in the sameciusn; may he mentioned that its siinplieity is snoll as toeimblc itsready usage by any one, however nnlamiliar with its operation, andthccapability oi' thc card heilig highly ornami-,nted by embossing,gilding, or otherwise, and the sure prevention of any mistake inanswering a. letter through niisdireetion. f

I. do not confine myself tofs-imply printing the, address ol the writeron the said card, as 1 may iind it convenient to adapt my envelopes tosnit the wants of parties of limited correspondence, which l do byleaving the card B blank as to the address, in other respects resemblingthe card as above described, the writer filling in the address.

l Having thus fnlly described my invention,

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The card B, serving as an advertisement, and as a snperseription to ananswering letter, in combination with the envelope A when formedsepanitr. from thc envelope, und attached to its faee,suhstantially asand for the purpose set forth.

In testimony thatI claim the foregoing as my own, i ailix iny signaturein presence of two witnesses.
